Pursuing Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 801

CHAPTER 801 SERVES HER RIGHT

There was no need for people to work with someone they did not like.

“Tristan, both you and I know how powerful the Sable family is. Their power in Anglandur is not to be underestimated,” said Sophie. This is the Sable family we're talking about. If we face them head-on, there's no guarantee what the outcome might be.

There would always be someone more powerful in this world. Not every enemy was a mere lackey.

“I know. I never underestimated them. I just don't want to see you making yourself suffer.”

Moreover, Sophie had to travel to Anglandur if she wanted to bring Nicholas to a psychiatrist. That was a situation Tristan did not want to see.

He did not want her to have any interaction with Nicholas, even if she was going there to save a life.

Sophie stood on tiptoes and pecked his chin. “Don't worry. I'll take good care of myself. I'll come back to you in one week, tops.”

“No. I won't allow it even if it's for one week. If you must go, then I'll go with you.” Tristan would not let her face the danger alone.

There was no way he was going to allow that.

“Nicholas wants to kill you. You'll be in danger if you come with me,” said Sophie. She did not want him to take the risk.

Love was the reason they did not want each other to be in danger.

“Don't underestimate me, Sophie. It's just Nicholas. He's nothing in my eyes.” Tristan was determined to go with her. If not, he would not stop worrying.

“I don't want you to go, Tristan.”

Sophie was incredibly persistent as well.

Immediately, Tristan's gaze hardened. What does she mean by that? I'm her fiancé. How could I just let her put herself in danger? Nicholas is a madman. If she goes, there's no telling if she'll be able to return. How could I just let her leave?

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Sophie said, “Tristan, I know Nicholas likes me. That's why I'm sure he won't do anything to me. But you're different. He's sick. Your presence will only anger him. He'll kill you!”

“He can't!” Tristan refuted indignantly.

“I mean, what if? I'm afraid this might happen. I love you. That's why I don't want you to be in danger.”

Why does he not understand this?

“And that is also why I don't want you to be in danger, because I might risk losing you.”

“All right. I get it. You should get some rest.” Sophie did not want to talk about it anymore.

They would only end up arguing if they did.

Sophie did not want to get into an argument with him in that kind of situation.

The matter had not come to a conclusion, but Tristan could only fall silent when he realized she did not want to continue talking about it.

However, he did not want to leave either.

He was afraid that Sophie might fly off to Anglandur alone if he left. It was something he could not bear to see happen.

As if reading his mind, Sophie hugged him and assured him, “I won't go to Anglandur alone if you don't agree to it. Go and get some sleep.”

Sophie needed to think carefully about it.

“Since we've already decided to be together, we should solve every problem together, no matter what it is. Don't push me away, okay?”

I'm not someone she can get rid of whenever she wants. Besides, she doesn't have to worry about me. Both Nicholas and I are equally powerful, but I believe he's not my match.

“Yeah, I know,” responded Sophie while leaning against him.

However, it was one thing to know what he meant and another to let him go against Nicholas. Sophie could not let that happen.

She did not want to see Tristan in danger.

That was why she was behaving that way.

“All right. Stop thinking about it. It'll be fine. We'll definitely rescue her.” Tristan knew Sophie was a loyal person.

Hence, Sophie would never leave Butterfly.

“Okay.”

With that, Tristan carried her to the bed and lay down beside her.

“Get some rest. Butterfly will be fine for now,” said Tristan. After all, Nicholas only had one objective.

He would not harm Butterfly before his objective was achieved.

Feeling drowsy, Sophie fell asleep in his arms. Seeing that, Tristan planted a kiss on her forehead. He knew she was a responsible person, and she would deal with matters properly no matter what it was.

However, Tristan hoped he could resolve that matter on his own. After all, it was a battle between him and Nicholas.

Getting off the bed, Tristan made an international call and gave the instructions for a rescue mission.

It had been many years. Naturally, Tristan had people on his side in Anglandur. That was why he was not afraid of Nicholas.

Butterfly had only been given a drug that drained her of strength. Nonetheless, Nicholas did not limit her freedom.

She could roam around freely in the mansion.

In fact, Nicholas even had breakfast with her.

However, Butterfly lost all her appetite at the sight of him. She knew Nicholas was using her to threaten Sophie.

The mere thought of that made her lose her appetite to have breakfast.

“Ms. Sekelsky, is the breakfast not to your liking? If that's the case, I can get someone to make something else for you.”

“The food's not the problem. It's the person I'm eating with. I lose my appetite when I see you, so please get lost.” Butterfly was not afraid of Nicholas. There was nothing she needed to be afraid of when she was already caught by him.

“What did you say? Are you courting death?” Richard could not tolerate someone talking to Nicholas like that.

However, Nicholas waved his hand.

“What's this behavior, Richard? Ms. Sekelsky is Sophie's friend, and Sophie's the woman I love the most. You must never get angry at Ms. Sekelsky, no matter what she says.”

“The woman you love the most?” Butterfly scoffed. How shameless of him to say something like that.

“What are you laughing for? Am I not allowed to love her? Who does Tristan think he is, anyway? I came to know Sophie first!”

His words rendered Butterfly speechless.

Just then, she recalled Sophie telling her Nicholas was mentally ill. Hence, she did not want to agitate him further.

The odds are against me, anyway. He's allowed to like anyone. It has nothing to do with me.

“Why aren't you talking anymore? I was the one who knew Sophie first.” Nicholas was insistent on that point.

He just did not understand why Sophie did not like him. We're meant for each other, aren't we?

“All right. I get it. You like Sophie, and no one's stopping you from feeling that way. Can I give her a call? I don't want her to worry about me. Don't worry. I'm too weak to go anywhere.”

Butterfly finally gave in. She was a good-looking woman. As long as she acted weak, the surrounding people would have the urge to protect her.

“Okay.”

Knowing Sophie would be worried about Butterfly, Nicholas tossed the phone to the latter.

Immediately, Butterfly gave Sophie a call.

At first, Sophie did not want to pick it up when she saw Nicholas' name on the screen. In the end, she still answered it.

“Sophie, it's me. Don't worry about me. I'm fine,” assured Butterfly. It's what I deserve.
